Special people who have been touched by Ray have been invited to speak. The City of L.A. has moved the date on us a few times so as of now the only person to confirm is Joe Mantegna. As more confirm I'll let people know.

This year we performed concert readings of three eerie Bradbury chillers -- my own readers-theatre adaptation of "The Black Ferris," Ray's radio adaptation of "The Ravine" and "Usher II" (from the stage script for THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES) at the Florence-Lauderdale Public Library.

This was our official public memorial tribute to Ray. We've also been presenting regular film screenings of his work (including a pre-Halloween screening of THE HALLOWEEN TREE) through our SCREENING ROOM series at the library. We'll have much more to come.
